Have I made a horror movie?Who exactly is this old tart sitting here in front of the laptop...Me!Double...Aaaaagh!The mirror in the bathroom has obviously been lying.The only way forward as I see it, and if push comes to shove, I'd rather not is... to Celebrate the wrinkles, stuff my belongingsinto a bag and take to the open road.I must confess I've always had yen fortramps, added to which,at least I'll look the part.What happened about the video?You may well ask!Haven't got a clue...

sunk without trace!It's in there somewhere,Am I bothered?

After the shock of the old cronein the early morning light, I sort of lost interestin my artisticals.☹✌☹

I can so relate to this. People have always told me how young I look for my age. Whenever shaving, brushing my teeth or whatever, I would think I don't look so bad...Then one day I took a mirror outside. I had a tooth that was bothering me and wanted to see if I could tell what was wrong. I couldn't see anything wrong with the tooth, BUT, oh jeez, I looked 20 years older than I looked inside.

Morning David, perish the thought I would have made a video with me in it. No chance! The image was of yours truly, sat patiently waiting for something to happen. Boy did it make me jump... A picture of Doris Gray.

I've always cracked on about botox and facelifts and how I never would. After today's horror, I can at least start to understand the reasons why some might. Not for me: grow old gracefully or in my case disgracefully, much more fun.

No hair dye, Botox or face lift for me either unless I have a huge change of heart. It doesn't look natural. My sister is 13 years older than me and she comes home occasionally. At a distance she looks younger than I do. But it's a lot like beverages with artificial sweetener, there's something that is just not quite right.

Oh Linda, I do love your posts and boy do they make me laugh out loud, only you (and I) could create a cinematic masterpiece and then not be able to find it!! I am forever taking images of my feet, fingers and sky somehow! David Bailey I am not! I can also relate to your comments about looking in the bathroom mirror. On a good day I think not too bad for an old bird. If you see yourself in a mirror in a shop, I think who the hell is that and then realise it is me! No hope! x

I wouldn't mind Jayne, but I once did a video of me (soft focus naturally, oh and narrow-angled lens), with this camera, alright it was years ago AND I didn't have this posy Apple Mac! I even managed to download it and send it. Can I remember how I did it, can I hell?

These days if ever there's a camera about I go and hide behind a four hundred year old oak. Why that age? In order for the trunk to hide mine!

I have a super 10 x magnification mirror for plucking warts etc and it's fab because you can only see a small bit of face at one time. A bit Picasso but still..... There is a tramp who sits on a bench near Iceland in TUn Wells; perhaps he has need of an understudy or two :)

I have the same bathroom mirror.... Amazing. Think I look half decent then catch a glimpse in a shop window.The worst is the vanity mirror, passenger side in the car.... Where did those chin hairs come from?Julie x
